I thank family, friends and Dad's former colleagues in this past difficult year.

The community has been so wonderful since it happened — so sweet.

It is a mature, thoughtful thing for these high school kids. It is meaningful. I was very impressed.

Reese said she was really sad she didn't get to see me do Wicked . All of our friends say we are the other.

It's been tiring, but you've got to get past that mental hump and know you can rest after the season. There's been a lot of fun and excitement. It's been a whirlwind, but you can't ask for anything better.

That was what a best friend did: hold up a mirror and show you your heart.
